My oh my, last night in Barnes and Noble, after our wonderful fellowship,I took my "Walking With God" book to the register and laid it on the counter. The girl behind the counter rang it in and ask if I had my discount card. After telling her it was in the car she said "I'll give you the discount this time but you need to bring it from now on". My friend said "Oh that was a Christian thing to do". She said "Um hah, I'm Jewish". I said "That's OK, I knew a Jew for Jesus that went to my church". She just giggled. My friend said "You're Jewish, I'm Catholic, she's Christian". Once again she just giggled. We took our purchase and walked away.
Tonight at dinner in a local restaurant I look over and low and behold who is sitting at the next table . . . . THE JEWISH BARNES AND NOBLE GIRL! We get her attention and wave and smile and say "Hello, remember us from the store last night?" Then back to eating for us all. OK, here's the kicker. We leave there and go to Target to pick up a few items, take them to the check out and guess who was in front of us checking out . . . YEP, you guessed it - JEWISH BARNES AND NOBLE GIRL!
OK GOD, I can see you are making this easy for me. I said something about a coincidence which is pretty weird because I don't believe in coincidences and she says "Well, I don't believe in coincidences but I don't really know what this means to see you so much". So we strike up a conversation and find out her name is Jill. We make small talk about her cute sandals and find out that she is working again on Monday. So . . . guess where we will be stopping in on Monday! Yep, BARNES AND NOBLE.
Connections, connections, connections, it's all about making connections!
